'''L-Asparaginases''' are enzymes that hydrolyze the amide group of the amino acid L-asparagine (L-Asn) to L-aspartate, with the simultaneous release of ammonia. They are often referred to as ASNase and assigned the EC number 3.5.1.1; if significant glutaminase co-activity (hydrolysis of the similar amino acid L-glutamine) is also present, the EC number is 3.5.1.38. Some ASNases that belong to other classes (see below) are assigned EC 3.4.19.5.

Evaluation of 189 structures of ASNases that were present in the PDB as of November 2023 was described in Wlodawer et al. (2024). Most structures did not raise any significant concerns. However, 30 models had various kinds of stereochemical problems and/or doubtful agreement with the experimental electron density maps. Consequently, they were re-refined in order to remove the shortcomings. The revised models (listed here) may be downloaded from this site in both the legacy PDB and mmCIF formats.
